Hypocrisy of Republican Senators Who Once Urged the Speedy Confirmation of Cabinet Members for National Security

Accountable Senate War Room released a new report detailing the rank hypocrisy from Senate Republicans who slow-walked President-elect Biden’s national security nominees, now leaving him at risk of entering office without a single confirmed Cabinet secretary. The report focuses on comments from the current chairs of the Intelligence, Armed Services, and Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committees, who in 2017 advocated for a president’s right to his national security picks as quickly as possible, but failed to act on advancing President-elect Biden’s nominees until the last possible second.
